Used as a base for many with jobs in the capital, the county town of Buckinghamshire, Aylesbury, is home to nearly 60,000 residents.

Large amounts of construction in the last fifty years, particularly of modern housing, have meant the town has grown at an unprecedented rate and this trend looks set to continue for the foreseeable future.

Visitors to Aylesbury are drawn by its lively nightlife, with a wide range of busy pubs and bars on offer in the town centre, alongside several popular nightclubs to suit all musical tastes.

A striking local landmark that dominates the town's skyline, with its mirror-like outer facade and surrounding trees, is the home of the banking group Halifax Bank of Scotland - one of the area's biggest employers since the departure of the Nestle dairy in recent years.
